In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, first lady Laura Bush is in the Middle East meeting women there to help the program’s message. Breast cancer is a serious disease for women all around the world—it’s one of the leading fatal diseases for women—but especially for women in Saudi Arabia, where a social stigma is attached to the disease. Many women fear seeing male doctors so much that they refuse to be seen for a diagnosis. One woman was even divorced when her husband suspected she had the disease.
Voice of the People: Lifting the Blue Law in LA November 6, 2007

For those of you who don’t know what the blue law is, the blue law is a law that prohibits the retail of liquor and wine on Sundays. Beer was still allowed to be sold. The blue law was just a traditional law made from the old social taboo of Louisiana. If I had to guess it revolved around the church society and how it used to be very powerful in Louisiana. Now days, from the growing urge to drink from young people this was a problem. People weren’t able to buy drinks at a bar on Sundays.

Homecoming has become more than a tradition and is now a big part of schools everywhere. During Homecoming both a male and a female are chosen by vote to be king and queen of the dance. This year our Homecoming king is Rodarrick Jones also know as “Who? Roe Jones.” For those who know him I think we can all agree that he fits the role as king perfectly. Roe is always willing to help someone no matter what age. His talent is shared throughout the school and that is an honor to be able to share such a great thing. Parents have said how well Roe works with children and how they can tell he truly enjoys getting involved with them. Not only has Rodarrick scored high is sports but he is also a great student and a joy for teachers and fellow classmates.

Finally, mastering the Pokemon games is so tough… It’s too hard to describe.

Homecoming has been a great tradition at St. John High School for years and years. The students are always very excited about not only the dance, but also homecoming week which is the week before homecoming. Homecoming week is always a lot of fun for the students, and we really enjoy the many activities we get to participate in. Throughout the week, each grade level receives points for the many activities. The grade with the most points at the end of the week wins.
